Now after about 5 months, my skin is totally clear and I don't ever get new pimples with the exception of extremely small ones on occasion that are hardly noticeable. The only negative side effect I have had is extremely dry lips. No matter what I do, they will get dry periodically and it lasts about 2 weeks. Hide Full Comment

Comment: I see a lot of reviews on here about people breaking out worse within the first few weeks so they stop taking it. You should continue taking it for a full month, at least. The same thing happened to me, my neck, chest, chin, back - all broke out worse than ever, but I read lots of reviews about this drug and others that said this might happen, so I powered through it.

Comment:I see a lot of reviews on here about people breaking out worse within the first few weeks so they stop taking it. You should continue taking it for a full month, at least. The same thing happened to me, my neck, chest, chin, back - all broke out worse than ever, but I read lots of reviews about this drug and others that said this might happen, so I powered through it. I've wrestled with acne since I was a teenager and I'm 40 now - my skin has never looked better! I do get occasional nausea from the meds when I take it in the morning, but that's really the only issue I've had. It takes time for your body to adjust to the medication, you have to give the med a fair chance to do it's job. I switch between this med and minocycline (used in the summer because it's more sun friendly) and I've not looked back. Hide Full Comment

Comment: I took this for cystic acne and it cleared up my face pretty well. The side effects I had makes me wish I never even took it. I had headaches every day, my hair started falling out more than normal and I got the super rare side effects. I ended up getting cdiff, stomach uclers, and other GI problems that I'm still dealing with. Not worth it to me.

Comment: I'm just going to put my two cents into this. WHY IS THIS A LEGO? I've at least choked three times now, I just had it travel horizontally down my throat "which of course felt great" but do yourself the favor and don't. Doxy works! But..seriously, what kind of dingus made this?
